Shots

I was surprised to see one of my images printed in the latest issue of "Shots" magazine. I had sent in a small batch for their nr. 100 issue but none of the images were published. It was Marko who drew my attention to "Shots". Definitely one of the most interesting magazines out there. It's being edited and published quarterly by one individual (Russel Joslin), printed on cheap paper, features only B&W pictures. Pages are 90% pictures, 10% text (one or two interviews in an issue). No ads at all. The magazine is fully supported by reader subscriptions (and it's cheap: $40 for a one year subscription in Europe and that includes postage). A unique undertaking and, as one could read their nr. 100 issue, one that takes a lot of commitment of the publisher to keep going.

The current issue is devoted to the theme of "Dreams" and one of my grainy, washed out pictures has been printed on page 35. Quite a (pleasant) surprise to suddenly see one of your pictures printed when you don't expect it.
